Seems the facility is suffering.

Since we had booked on Golfnow.com the first person we met in pro shop made a big deal aboit the fact we did not pay regular rates and thus could not go 1 minute early...no one had teed off for quite some time. Talk about feeling like a second class citizen!

We had never experienced that anywhere, anytime. INTERESTING THAT WHEN WE BOOKED WE COULD HAVE TAKEN AN EARLIER TEE TIME AT THE SAME RATE WE PAID!

This course has some elevation changes and the back nine is very memorable.

Got an exceptional deal with Golfnow.com! The course has several elevation changes. The back nine is a bit more memorable than the front. The false front greens can be extremely tricky if your ball ends up above the hole. Overall the course was enjoyable but watch out for #15 hole..................It can definitely put a large number on your scorecard.

Greens need help

It was an overcast Monday, few players due to a recent morning shower. The Pro shop employee said when asked if we might get out a little early; " Don't want to sound like a jerk but that is a great rate". I believe him to refer that even though there were only a few golfers on the entire course, we may have to wait an additional 45 minutes to tee off.
I realize if the tee sheet was full waiting for our time was necessary.
The greens were bad, like putting on a bad living room carpet.

Laguna Seca has always been a tough for me and yesterday was no different.

I had a pretty good day yesterday but there are definite issues with some of the greens. they are very bumpy and it is difficult to get a ball to roll true. Also, some of the cart paths could use some attention. other than that it is a great golf course.

Interesting design

A course that needs some play advice if never played before. I was fortunate to have played with two gents that were very familiar with the course. The help with direction off the tee and bunker placement made the round more enjoyable.
We played Oct. 15th and had to deal with smoke and ash from the Fort Ord burn which was intense at times.
Pace of play was great as was the local scenery as we moved up the mountain holes.
Overall good value from golf now booking.

Great design but under-maintained

The Trent Jones design with elevated tees is very fun. Over the last year or two the maintenance has gone down, especially the greens. There are several greens that have multiple kinds of grass and are bumpy. They have made the course easier over the last few years. It is a value if you get a deal on Golfnow.

Fun and Challenging

Generally in good shape but greens were patchy. Some of this is time of year and drought conditions in Monterey area. A tough and challenging layout with unique holes as in most R.T. Jones courses.

Nice course

Had a great time with our 4-some.we were first off so we had to deal with the guy who cuts in the pin location. Had to wait on a couple holes. Course was in good shape for fall. Kikuyu grass was yellowing and the greens rolled well and true , a lot of weeds on greens. For the $42 we each spent, it was well worth it. Breakfast and lunch were great. Staff was nice to regulars and a little distant to others. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY !!!!!!

Breathtaking Canyon Views and Tees

My husband and I played this course on a beautiful fall day on the Monterey peninsula. The views from the canyons were stunning and it was fun to pick targets from elevated tees. There are also a number of holes on the valley floor that are average. I will say that the greens had sneaky breaks that were exacerbated by the somewhat bumpy surfaces. My only other recommendation is that the cart path repair cycle should be expedited in order to prevent additional water damage to the asphalt.

Nice course poorly marked.

Would like to see maps for the holes. Unable from several tees to see where the holes go. Too many blind shots for new players. Would like to play it again now that I have some idea where the trouble is off of the tees.

Well maintained course that is a great value

Really well maintained course with a freindly staff and even friendlier golfers. I've met really good people each time I've played. The course has great layout and especially like the elevated tee on the starting hole. A really good first tee shot with a short second shot to the green can really set your confidence for the day with a great chance at birdie!

Great deals on rounds make this course a real steal to play.

Golf Course was great

We played in four hours which was great. One criticism though, on course restroom was deplorable. Urinal was filthy, soap dispenser was broken, no towel dispenser , roll of paper towels was sitting on the corner of the trash can. Attention to detail applies not only to the course, but the amenities & necessities as well! I'll be back but I hope management takes notice and takes corrective action!

Tough back nine

Beautiful view throughout. Course in good shape along with traps. Greens rolled ok but there seems to be an issue with low level disease or something with some off colors etc.
